“The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And they that know Thy name will put their trust in Thee: for Thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek Thee.” “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble,” and “the eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.” “Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in Thee: yea, in the shadow of Thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.” “Trust in Him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before Him: God is a refuge for us,” for “in God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.” So “I will sing of Thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of Thy mercy in the morning: for Thou hast been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble.” We “have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us … even Jesus, made a high priest forever after the order of Melchisedec.” “O Lord, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction.” “I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust.”
He is my refuge in trouble;
To Him I can flee for aid;
He giveth His grace to succor,
He on whom my sins were laid.

There are many things in life of which we may partake without committing sin. But some of these seemingly harmless things may impede our spiritual progress and therefore “are not expedient.” Certain attitudes and habits and companionships do not contribute to our spiritual well-being; they are not conducive to a close walk with the Lord. “For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.” “As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God,” making sure that we are not “choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.” “No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please Him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.” “Take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.” “All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.” “Do all to the glory of God.”
I have liberty in the Lord
To live a life that is free,
But His love holds me in bondage,
And constrained my life must be.

Asaph had been sorely troubled about “the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.” It seemed to him that “I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency. For,” he says, “all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.” It was not until he “went into the sanctuary of God” that he “understood … their end.” But though these doubts arose in his mind, he kept them to himself, lest “I should offend against the generation of Thy children.” How well it is that we believers keep our doubts and fears to ourselves, lest we should offend others who are seeking to walk with the Lord. “If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.” Share your joys and victories; keep your doubts to yourself. “Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man,” and “let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.” Tell your doubts to the Lord alone; “pour out your heart before Him: God is a refuge for us.”
Do doubts and fears distress your soul?
Cast them on the Lord in prayer;
Tell not to men your heart’s doubtings;
God alone can bear your care.

“The man that endureth” under trials and testings, who suffers patiently, will have due reward at the judgment seat of Christ, “when he is tried,” for it is written of us Christians that “every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.” And for the enduring believer, “when he is tried,” then “he shall receive the crown of life.” This is not eternal life itself, for we do not earn that by enduring; we receive it as a gift. “The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord,” and “he that hath the Son hath life.” It is rather “the crown of life,” a reward for faithfulness under trial, “which the Lord hath promised to them that love Him,” for there must be such love in our hearts to enable us to be “rejoicing that” we are “counted worthy to suffer shame for His name,” and “if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God,” for “all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.”
The Lord looks down upon His own,
Who patiently toil and weep;
“The crown of life” is promised them;
His Word He will surely keep.

“The Lord giveth wisdom: out of His mouth cometh knowledge and understanding,” and “when wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee.” “The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.” “Christ, in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge,” and “of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom.” “Be not wise in your own conceits.” “For this cause we … pray for you … that ye might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,” “that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him.” “Where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding. … Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.” “O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!”
Wisdom is found only in Him;
It is not native to man;
He wants to guide and direct us,
And as we submit He can.

“Unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” “Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into Thy lips: therefore God hath blessed Thee forever,” for “being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” “His mighty power, which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places. … And hath put all things under His feet.” “Never man spake like this Man.” “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God,” and “my Lord and my God,” “who loved me, and gave Himself for me.” “I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save,” “a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside Me.” “What then shall I do with Jesus which is called Christ?”
The dear and lovely Son of God
Bore our sins upon the tree;
What then will you do with Jesus,
Who suffered to set you free.

This was Pharaoh’s response to the request of Moses to let the children of Israel “go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the Lord our God, as He shall command us.” The “three days” speak of death and resurrection, and God wants those who have been “redeemed … with the precious blood of Christ” to “reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Satan will say to us regarding our separation that “ye shall not go very far away.” In other words, “Don’t be too spiritual.” But God says, “Go three days’ journey into the wilderness,” remembering that by “the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ … the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.” “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.” “Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”
How close to the world may I walk,
And still bring glory to God?
The world that crucified God’s Son
And hates those who trust God’s Word.

“Ye were sometime darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light.” “This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,” for “if we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin,” so “that ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God.” “As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him,” for “we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” “This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.” So shall “ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,” and “walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto His kingdom and glory.” “He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked.”
If we “walk in newness of life,”
Looking carefully how we tread,
We honor and glorify Him,
Our Lord who was raised from the dead.

The stones for Solomon’s temple were sized and shaped before being brought to the temple site, “before it was brought thither.” God is presently building a temple also, a temple made of “lively stones … built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.” We believers, “as lively stones,” are being “built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone; in whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto a holy temple in the Lord.” One day these stones will be “brought thither,” at “the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and … our gathering together unto Him,” and then it will be seen that each “living stone” was “made ready before it was brought thither.” This is why God sometimes permits His redeemed ones to be “troubled on every side … distressed … perplexed … persecuted … cast down.” So “think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you … but rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when His glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.”
A temple built of living stones
Has God designed us to be,
Shaped by the pressures of this life,
Fitted for eternity.

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” “For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.” So “honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: so shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.” “The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.” “But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.” “There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.” “Remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how He said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
What we lay in store in heaven
Is secure forevermore;
It cannot be marred or stolen;
Thieves cannot enter that door.
